Hah I remember watching that and at the time thinking "who the gently caress is that". It was so unexpected and kind of anticlimactic.

I don't think I've ever seen a particularly great Romandie, for whatever reason. most consistently good stage races these days are Pais Vasco and Tirreno-Adriatico. and Paris-Nice if the wind is cooperative

Now that Cyclingtips, Cyclingnews, and Velonews are all mostly/partially behind the paywall, what's the good place to go to for pro cycling news?

Just disable javascript on those sites. All you lose is the comment section.

I decided to pay to for cycling tips because their articles are all pretty decent and seem the least advertorially of the major sites. Plus that story on the fake pro was incredible.

Wielerflits is pretty exhaustive and reads ok translated to English, somewhat Dutch and Belgian focused though. I bounce between liking and disliking Cyclingtips a bit. The fake pro article was great although some of that authors others prior to it have just been long creative writing pieces for clicks rather than anything substantive. Their website redesign also made the home page very sparse (like every website these days), so if you don't visit frequently you miss a lot.

The end of 4 Jours de Dunkerque was bad. Looks like the Lotto rider tried to ride through a gap that wasn’t there and boom, big crash. E: on rewatching it looks like Welsford deviated a bit Literally Lewis Hamilton fucked around with this message at 17:05 on May 3, 2022 |

Having his elbows out is fine if that's how he sprints (it is tbf), it's the lean in that causes it, but it's also hard to tell if that's a thrown block or a combination of elbows hooking up and fading left to follow the turn to the line. DQ is understandable but I wouldn't call it dirty.

The WC52 - FC Porto cyclists all tested negative, which (given the other evidence) suggests that there's undetectable secret sauce out there Can also be that current testing programmes just can't detect state of the art doping regimens using known PEDs Heliosicle fucked around with this message at 10:57 on May 4, 2022 |

How bad is testing it a lower level team can afford the secret juice that gives you that level of performance?

Wasn't there conjecture that the new secret sauce is lugworm hemoglobin or something? How expensive could that be? Just go squeeze a bunch of those fuckers

They threw the director under the bus probably because he wouldn't pay whoever wanted to be paid and found a new guy who will. Then magically, the tests are negative.

Is there some place I can watch for free, legally? TV2 lost the contract for the Giro to Discovery, and I'm not exactly enthusiastic about a million billion commercials.

I've never looked at Discovery's service so I dunno if they include the ad-free options, but all cycling on Eurosport Player offers an ad-free stream and the same stream gets shown on GCN.
